Right guys and gals, crap week again but let's have a bit of fun.
Name a manager you would like to see take over IF Lennon leaves.
Keep it within reason not some pie in the sky name.
For me a couple stand out
Rangnick (maybe a bit to far? )
Thomas Frank who is doing great work down south.

Eddie Howe is the obvious choice. Personally I'm not fussed as long as it is a young manager with modern ideas. However it ends up being whenever NL leaves they must be given full control like BR had. We don't need another PL yes man.

I mentioned rangnick earlier Kev, he seems to have a good record of signing young players then moving them on for big fees . Eddie Howe who is linked, I’m unsure of. He plus decent football and done ok keeping Bournemouth in the prem but there was very little pressure on him there . They were never very strong defensively either .

I don’t know anything about how a football club is run and I’ve no idea who is availability but from a purely business perspective with Celtics turnover as an international brand if DD and to a lesser extent PL don’t have a Plan B and their eye on somebody somewhere and have all their eggs in the one NL basket I’d be absolutely stunned.

I would say a manager on a temporary basis, who knows his way about a team and who is hard to kick some arses. With a view to a new management team and approach next year. MON, Keane, Pearson or someone until the end of the season. Then someone to rebuild next year, someone young and motivated. Maloney maybe.

Chris Hughton
I know people won't be happy with this but I would bring WGS back until the end of the season with Scott Gemmill as assistant with him taking over in the summer.

He knows the league
Makes teams hard to beat.
Worked at big clubs with big players.

Clarke is so negative though, I know he gets teams organised but we need more than that . When Rogers came in he reinvigorated the whole club including fans . We need that again.
I wonder if lawell is digging out his waterproofs again to pop into a few showers in the hope someone takes up a job offer 🙈.

Nigel Pearson
Bruno Lage
Eddie Howe.

Chris Hughton was linked before Lennon got the job and I would have been happy with that. Question is, is Lennon actually going?

Chris Houghton Eddie Howe Nigel Pearson are all much better than nl tactically. Howe plays attacking football however he had no plan b last year and Bournemouth were awful, Pearson could steady us like he did Watford last year b4 getting sacked when they were still staying up. Houghton been outta work for a while but think he has done well everywhere he has been so far. I'd like us to think outside the box this time and go get a young European manager maybe ex-player ala lamps and Gerrard model who have that knowledge of the modern game and give them a chance to show what they can do. Any ideas folks?
{Ed001's Note - Hughton is manager of Nottingham Forest.}

Always thought someone like Solbakken would do a decent job here. Out of a job currently too.
